A trip to the bottom of the world requires a bit more planning than simply buying a ticket and packing a bag. Cape Town-based White Desert Antarctic Adventures can help. Their itineraries — all of which include the world's only private jet service to the continent — range from a single day trip to Wolfs Fang peak to an eight-day excursion that features stops at an Emperor Penguin colony and the geographic South Pole. All multi-day trips take advantage of the company's sustainable Whichaway Camp, a collection of dome-shaped structures that combine high-tech materials with old-world luxury.

There are lots of companies trying to get people into space in the near future. Very few are offering somewhere to go when you get there. The Aurora Station Space Hotel aims to fix that. This low-orbit space station is shooting for a 2021 launch to orbit and a 2022 opening. It will welcome up to four guests at a time for 12-day stays, with two crew members available to handle requests. Interested guests can expect to undergo a three-month training program before launch, with both that and transportation to and from the "hotel" included in the price.

Ken Burns has been the mastermind behind documentaries The West and The National Parks: America's Best Idea. Using his films as inspiration, he and Tauck have partnered to create the Ken Burns American Journeys. The collection guides guests around the U.S. with travel experiences curated by the documentary filmmaker and his long-time collaborator Dayton Duncan. Tours are enhanced with components designed by Burns' and include mini-documentaries, original itineraries, and even meetings with the man himself. Locations range from California's Gold Coats to Glacier National Park and have even expanded to Vietnam following the release of 18-hour documentary series The Vietnam War.

Made for athletes in search of a comfortable shoe to wear while traveling, the Vans UltraRange Rapidweld is one of the most versatile in the brand's arsenal. It's made with a new UltraCush Lite midsole compound for added comfort and durability. It also has LuxLiner sock-fit construction for a secure, comfy fit, fully breathable mesh with Rapidweld details, and synthetic, textile, and suede uppers. Each pair is finished using water-based inks and glues and a durable rubber reverse waffle lug outsole.

While normal sweats are great for lounging around the house, most aren't ideal for getting out in the temperatures seen daily throughout the winter months. Coldsmoke's Windbloc Joggers were made for just that kind of weather, using Polartec Windbloc fleece that blocks virtually all wind with an exterior that's extremely water repellent. You get the feel of fleece joggers on the inside, while the outside looks more polished and wards off the elements. Made in California, think of the Windbloc Joggers as more of your go-to casual pant than workout garb, as the insulation factor makes them great for braving the elements, but not spin class.

It can take weeks to explore just one of Nepal's "eight-thousanders" — peaks measuring over 8,000 meters tall — on foot. Thanks to this Himalaya Helicopter Expedition, you can see them all in just eight days. This exclusive adventure will take you to the base camp of Everest, as well as spots near Lhotse, Cho Oyu, Makalu, Kanchenjunga, Manaslu, Annapurna, and Dhaulagiri. Overnight accommodations will be provided at spots including the Yak & Yeti in Kathmandu and Everest Summit Lodge, and your chopper will be flown by mountain rescue pilots with years of experience in the area.

No, you can't really spend the night at a TV show. Instead, this special Airbnb listing will give one lucky winner and their guest a chance to spend three days and two nights aboard the Alucia, the oceanic research and exploration vessel used in the filming of Blue Planet II. You'll be joining an active research trip in the Bahamas, during which you'll get the chance to explore the deep in one of the ship's two submarines. You'll eat your meals with the crew, get the chance to observe their work, and perhaps gain a new appreciation for the ocean.

With its signature sophisticated, minimalist look, the Autobahn is undeniably part of the NOMOS family, but there's something about it that is more dynamic than the rest of the watches in the legendary brand's portfolio. That playful attitude is drawn from the designer's inspiration, created not only with the famous German highway in mind but also from the 22-minute Kraftwerk song of the same name. The theme is most evident on the dial — where smooth, rounded corners rise to the edge like a steep curve, only to dip at the recessed subdial just above the elongated 3-date window at the bottom — while a light gray luminous ring glows blue in low light, bringing to mind the dashboard of a car at night. It all sits beneath sapphire domed crystal, which is also found on the back of the watch, to showcase the in-house built caliber DUW6101 movement — used here for the first time with a date complication. Despite all the traffic, it remains quite thin and wears comfortably on the wrist and is finished with a waterproof blue-black textile strap tailor-made in France that features the NOMOS winged clasp that is polished by hand.

California is littered with outdoor areas worth exploring. Pacific Overlander Expedition Vehicles make doing so highly convenient. Their fleet includes Tacomas, 4Runners, and Defenders outfitted with rooftop tents and full-sized GM trucks with bed-mounted campers. No matter which you choose, you'll be provided with all the gear you need, including a cooler or fridge, cooking equipment, and camping tables and chairs.

Most ships are dedicated to either luxury or discovery. The Scenic Eclipse Discovery Yacht is designed for both. The tour brand's first ocean cruise ship, it measures 168 meters long, yet has just 114 suites, each with a private verandah. With 176 crew members, it offers as close to a 1:1 ratio as you'll find, which ensures you never have to wait to enjoy your next indulgence at the spa, pool, theater, lounges, or bars. It also carries its own Discovery team, who has a fleet of Zodiacs, kayaks, e-bikes, and other outdoor toys at their disposal to help you explore your surroundings in ways traditional luxury launches can't. Its maiden voyage launches in the Mediterranean next August, and current itineraries include trips through the Americas, Antarctica, Europe, and the Arctic.
